I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life.
我当时没有觉察，但是事后证明，从苹果公司被炒是这辈子发生在我身上的最棒的事情。成功的负重感被重作新手的轻快感所取代，我又一次对任何事情不那么肯定。这让我得到解放，进入了我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段。
During the next five years I started a company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.
在接下来的五年里，我创立了一个名叫Pixar的公司，与一个后来成为我妻子的好女人坠人爱河。Pixar接着制作了世界上第一部用电脑制作的动画电影——“玩具总动员”，它现在也是世界上最成功的电脑制作工作室。
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.
我可以非常肯定，如果我不被苹果公司开除，这些事情一件也不会发生。有时候，生活会拿起一块砖头往你的脑袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信心。我很清楚，惟一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我无比热爱。你需要去找到你所热爱的东西。对于工作是如此，对于爱人也是如此。你只有相信自己所做的是伟大的工作，你才能怡然自得。而只有热爱自己所做的事才能做出伟大的工作。如果现在还没有找到，那就继续找，不要停顿。
